Israel and Hezbollah have agreed a ceasefire, a US official says, following intense Israeli air strikes in southern Lebanon that the government said killed 47 people. The agreement followed concerns that continued clashes, which also saw Hezbollah kill four Israeli soldiers in Lebanon, would undermine the deal to end the war between the US and Iran. An Israeli military spokesman said that the military would "continue to remove immediate threats" while Hezbollah's secretary general, Sheikh Naim Qassem, said: "The project to eliminate Hezbollah has failed."
